De Valera and the Irish Press
A few months ago, I described here about receiving a letter from Eamonn De Valera regarding a dividend for my Irish Press shares and related a bit of the history about how De Valera managed to end up owning the Irish Press group in the first place. The historical information was sourced from Tim Pat Coogan's biography of Dev. Tonight, RTE1 show a documentary on this very topic (9.30, RTE1) with Tim Pat as a contributor. The adverts for the documentary claim new evidence has been uncovered on how De Valera gained control of the papers. Mind you, the exisiting information is damning enough.
